[QUOTE="Fyrtwuck, post: 3576613, member: 23"] It’s gotten to the point that officers are either afraid to use any kind of force or the departments won’t allow it for fear of protests, prosecution and public opinion. Their reasoning seems to be “better to destroy property that can be replaced rather than maim or kill and face liability lawsuits”. It’s no longer the “one riot, one ranger” type of law enforcement. The animals are running the zoo. Looking at the first blocking attempt and the positions of the vehicles, I don’t think I would have risked shooting at the suspect for fear of crossfire. At the very least, I think a few rounds to the engine compartment may have stopped the vehicle, but even risking that could make the other officers think the suspect was shooting back and everybody else join in. It would have to be coordinated and I don’t think they had time for that. [/QUOTE]
